The Counter-Revolution

Gayn, Mark | November 10, 1956 issue

October, 1956, will surely join that other, more famous, October in the annals of communism. For if the October Revolution of 1917 marked the birth of the first Communist state, last month's events were a phase of the counter-revolution. What the world saw in fateful days in Poland and Hungary were not coups d'ctat in minor Communist states, but fragments of a vast counter-revolutionary movement which has already vitally affected Soviet Union influence and power, changed the nature of the relationships within the Communist bloc, and exposed a crisis of leadership in Moscow.
